ACM :An abbreviation for acrylic rubber Accelerator: A substance which fastenes the vulcanization of an elastomer,causing it to take place in a short time or at a lower temperature. Abrasion : The wearing away of a surface in service by mechanical action,such as scrapping or erosion. Abrasion Tester : A machine for determining the quantity of material worn away by friction under specified conditions. Abrasion Resistance Index : A measure of the abrasion resistance of a rubber relative to that of a standard rubber under the same specified conditions, expressed as a percentage. Absorption : The physical mechanism by which one substance takes up another substance (liquid, gas or vapo...
